Oregon Scientific Complete Regional Weather Station Review 19. December 2005
Posted by Nerdmaster in : Cellphones, Notebook and Laptops, PREVIEW , add a commentWhen MSN Direct launched, the first devices to market were watches, but there was a lot of promise for different, more targeted SPOT enabled contraptions. The Oregon Scientific Weather Station is the first non-watch SPOT device to be made available.

While there are other weather stations on the market, none provides this level of detail without an outside antenna at this price point.
